"Yes! You seven clans must make amends to Senior Demon King!"
“Even an old senior like Lord Qin has taken the initiative to stand up and apologize in public. As the main culprit, and with the Demon King Seal…what reason do you have to refuse? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the world?”
“Master Chiyang, it was your Chiyang family that sent people to our South Sea to spread the crime of the Demon King… Now that the truth has been revealed, it would not be excessive for your entire family to kneel down in front of the Yun family to apologize. Now, are you unwilling to even admit your mistakes to the remains of the Demon King?”
"Don't you feel any shame or guilt in front of the demon king's remains? If so, even if you are the guardian of the family, we still look down on you!"
………………
Who would be a fool to enter the Demon King's Palace? From what we have seen and heard today - the clearly divided camps, the Huai King who deliberately provoked the incident, the arrogance of the seven family heads and their obvious obedience to the Huai King, plus everything revealed step by step by Yun Che, how could people not smell something strange.
The most clear point is... the seven families united to fiercely target the Yun family, and a hundred years ago they united to incite the crimes of the Demon King and the Yun family. It was absolutely deliberate, and even concealed a conspiracy that they dared not think about deeply.
And these overlords, under the leadership of the seven families a hundred years ago, became accomplices and pawns, and even became sinners who insulted the loyal and good. They felt ashamed of the demon king, and how could they not be angry and hate him. But the other party was the seven guardian families after all, and they could not afford to provoke them... But once someone took the lead and everyone responded, the situation would naturally be completely different.
Qin Zheng's words were like a stone thrown into the sea, but it caused a thousand huge waves. All the domain lords, city lords, and overlords glared at the seven families and spoke angrily to them. For a moment, the entire Demon King Hall was filled with voices condemning the seven families, and the scolding became more and more deafening and intense.
The faces of the seven family heads were twitching violently, cold sweat was pouring down their foreheads, and their hearts were like being pressed down by a huge rock. Even if they were scolded by the Demon King, they would not feel such great pressure, but any one of the people who accused them could only bow to them and was an inferior person in their eyes. However, they united to represent the will of the people of the world and the entire Illusory Demon Realm!
"Your Highness Prince Huai... what should we do?" The seven family heads all sent messages to Prince Huai in panic, sweating profusely all over their bodies. They knew very well that in such a situation, if something went wrong today, their reputation that had lasted for thousands of years would plummet, and they would even become the target of public criticism in the Illusory Demon Realm.
The prince of Huai had almost bitten his teeth to pieces. In terms of the power he controlled, he had indeed surpassed the Little Demon Queen in terms of his planning over the years, but the primary reason why he had not been able to put it into action was the will of the people of the world, which was also what he had dreamed of controlling over the years.
Today's Demon Queen Ceremony, where heroes from all over the world gathered, was the perfect opportunity he had been waiting for! His ambition had been put into action today, but he didn't expect that before the action even started, it had been completely crushed by Yun Che... But this was not the end. Before he could react, the will of the people of the world actually stood on the side of the Yun family, and the seven guardian families that he had spent a huge price to control suddenly became the target of public criticism...
The century-long slander against the Yun family not only failed to expel the Yun family from the Guardian Family, but also aroused the guilt, self-blame and anger of the heroes of the world. The people's hearts that he wanted to control the most not only failed to lean towards him, but were completely on the opposite side.
His plan had just begun when it completely collapsed, leaving him in a state of embarrassment. This was a result he had never dreamed of. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "What else can I do? Why don't you go and apologize to that dead body... Are you waiting to be drowned by the curses of the world?!"
At this point, they had to make amends to Yun Canghai's body. Otherwise, the consequences would be so severe that they could not bear it even if they tried to protect their family. At that moment, the seven family heads gritted their teeth at the same time, crossed the layers of people, flew to the front of Yun Canghai's body... and then knelt down on one knee with great difficulty.
The Demon King Hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the seven people. To Helian Kuang and the other seven, these eyes were like looking at prisoners being tried, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable. The seven of them had never thought that as the head of the family who protected the family, they would one day fall into such a situation.
Helian Kuang gritted his teeth, then took a deep breath, trying his best to show a calm and calm expression, bowed his head to Yun Canghai's body and said: "Senior Demon King, I was blinded by a leaf and was ignorant for a moment. I thought I was doing it for the sake of the entire Illusory Demon Realm. I never thought I would make such a big mistake. I apologize to Senior Demon King here."
Although Helian Kuang apologized, he downplayed his "sin" to the extreme, and in his mouth, it became a momentary confusion for the sake of the Illusory Demon Realm. Yun Che sneered secretly and said nothing. Chiyang Bailie, Jiufang Kui, Bai Yi, Nangong Yan, Xiao Xifeng, and Lin Guiyan also stepped forward to apologize, and the content of their shouting was exactly the same as Helian Kuang's.
When the seven family heads stood up, their faces were as black as if they had just crawled out of the bottom of a pot. They glanced at Yun Che from the corner of their eyes, wishing they could tear him into pieces with their teeth.
Although the seven people's "confessions" were clearly not sincere, as the guardians of the family, they had already bowed to Yun Canghai's body in public, and naturally, no one could make any more condemnation. Yun Che silently looked at Yun Canghai's quiet body, his heart peaceful but bitter... Grandpa, the Yun family was rehabilitated, not because of my credit. If it weren't for you guarding the Demon King Seal for a hundred years, if it weren't for your loyalty that can be witnessed by the sun and the moon, even if I had great abilities, I would not be able to make the Yun family win the hearts of the people. It was also Grandpa who used his life to exchange for me to see the light of day again... But there is only so much I can do for Grandpa... Not even one tenth of Grandpa's kindness...
“Haha, the seven family heads knelt down and admitted their mistakes to the Demon King. Although it is what they should do, it also shows that the seven family heads have extraordinary minds and outstanding demeanor!” Prince Huai stood up with a calm face, expressing his admiration for the seven people who had clearly made a big mistake and were despised by everyone. His expression was calm as if all this had nothing to do with him. He looked at Yun Che and said slowly: “Yun Che, the seven family heads knelt down and admitted their mistakes to the Demon King without hesitation, which is completely what you wished for! Now, you should return the Demon King Seal to the Little Demon Queen.”
“It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Huai has a bad memory!” Yun Che glanced at me and said calmly, “I have clearly stated before that if they want me to return the Demon King Seal, these seven people must first kneel down and confess to my grandfather, and then they must swear allegiance to the Little Demon Queen! I didn’t see them swear allegiance to the Little Demon Queen!”
Prince Huai frowned and said in a deep voice: “Yun Che, this prince and the seven family heads consider you as a junior and the descendant of the demon king, so we tolerate and compromise with you in every way. Please don’t go too far…”
Prince Huai and the seven family heads were indeed tolerating and compromising, but anyone who was not blind could see that they were not willing to do so, but had to tolerate and compromise under Yun Che's relentless pressure. To make the seven family heads swear allegiance to the Little Demon Queen in public was not a big deal in the eyes of others... because as the people who protect the family, being loyal to the Little Demon Queen was their duty.
But Prince Huai knew Yun Che's purpose clearly!
Yun Che asked them to swear an oath of allegiance... and it was a poisonous oath that "if there is rebellion, the descendants will be slaves and prostitutes for a thousand generations"! If they swore this poisonous oath, it would undoubtedly plant a poisonous nail in the hearts of the seven family heads. If they continued to follow the Prince of Huai to rebel in the future, they would undoubtedly curse themselves and future generations. The Illusory Demon Realm would also remember the poisonous oath of the seven family heads because of the witness of the heroes of the world today.
This is not only disgusting to the Seventh Patriarch, but also disgusting to Prince Huai!
And if the seven family heads refused, it would undoubtedly be telling the heroes of the world that they had something to hide... Let alone Yun Che, anyone who could talk would be able to take advantage of the situation and put the blame on the seven family heads.
Yun Che’s move still made them feel sick whether they advanced or retreated… It was even more vicious than the devil’s curse.
“Am I going too far?” As expected, Yun Che’s counterattack came the moment Prince Huai’s words came out: “May I ask Prince Huai, how am I going too far? As the patriarch who leads and protects the family, it is only natural for them to be loyal to the Little Demon Queen! They have been loyal to the Demon King for ten thousand years, and now, I am only asking them to shout out their oath of continued loyalty! Not only can they take this opportunity to show their loyalty to the Little Demon Queen again, but it can also allow the Demon King Seal to return. This is simply the simplest thing in the world, and there is no exaggeration or difficulty at all!! How can I go too far?”
The chest of the Prince of Huai rose and fell violently. He knew very well that Yun Che would say such a thing, and he also knew that in front of all the heroes in the world, there was no way to refute such words... The guardian families existed to be loyal to the Demon King family, which was common sense known to everyone in the Illusory Demon Realm. If any guardian family rebelled against the Demon King family, it would undoubtedly be cursed and hostile by the entire Illusory Demon Realm. The Prince of Huai's mind turned rapidly, and he reluctantly said: "The guardian families have been loyal to the Demon King for ten thousand years, and have never had any other intentions. Everyone in the world knows it! But you asked these seven family heads to swear a poisonous oath of allegiance, which is clearly a questioning and blasphemy of their loyalty! Humph, all the so-called oaths in this world are always just empty words. If they really have other intentions, what can they do even if the oath is a hundred times more vicious!"
“Your Highness Prince Huai is absolutely right!” Yun Che smiled faintly and nodded: “Since this poisonous oath is nothing but empty words, then if I just shout out some empty words, I can both show my loyalty and get the Demon King Seal back into the hands of the Little Demon Queen. I think no one would have a reason to refuse, right? Then why did Prince Huai say that I was going too far?”
"..." Prince Huai was speechless for a moment.
“Heh…” Yun Che sneered, “If what I asked just now was that they swear an oath on behalf of the entire clan, then it would indeed be a bit unreasonable. After all, even if they are the clan heads, they cannot represent and decide the will of every single person in the clan. But what I asked was only for them! If these seven clan heads are loyal to the Little Demon Queen, then even if this oath is thousands of times more poisonous, they will definitely be calm and not have even the slightest hesitation or panic! Instead, they will happily use this opportunity to express their loyalty to the Little Demon Queen in front of all the heroes in the world!”
"If they are even resisting and panicking about this... haha, then doesn't that tell all of us that they have something to hide? If they swear this oath, it will become a curse on themselves!!"
“More!” Without waiting for Prince Huai and the seven clan heads to say anything, Yun Che suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Prince Huai. He frowned and said, “Your Highness Prince Huai, I really don’t understand. As the Prince of Huanyao County, you should be happy to see such a simple thing that will greatly benefit the Huanyao royal family. But you are trying to stop it. Could it be that Prince Huai…”
Yun Che stopped talking here, but anyone could hear what he meant. After a brief pause, Yun Che’s expression and tone changed at the same time: “Your Highness Prince Huai, although I am only a junior, I still have something to warn Prince Huai… In this Illusory Demon Realm, anyone who rebels against the Demon King, even if they are the ones who protect their family, will at most be cursed. But if you, Prince Huai… and all the royal family members present here, have rebellious intentions, even the heavens will not tolerate it!”
In the East Seat, all the royal family members’ faces changed, and the Zhong Wang said in a deep voice: “Yun Che…what do you mean by this!”
“Is it difficult for Your Highness Prince Zhong to understand?” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly: “As everyone knows, it was the Ancestral Demon Emperor who unified the Illusory Demon Realm and calmed down the endless chaos in the Illusory Demon Realm, allowing it to live in peace for ten thousand years! And the ones who accompanied the Ancestral Demon Emperor through hundreds of battles and unified the Illusory Demon Realm were the Twelve Guardian Families! The Twelve Guardian Families were the arms of the Ancestral Demon Emperor ten thousand years ago, and they have always been the guardian barrier of the Demon Emperor over the past ten thousand years. They can be said to have made great contributions. The Twelve Guardian Families have the status and reputation they have today, and they really deserve it.”
"But you, the royal family, have inherited some of the blood of the Demon King. Therefore, you are born into the noble royal family, with the most honorable status, enjoying the best resources and wealth and glory that ordinary people dare not dream of in their lifetime, without having to pay anything, let alone fight bloody battles! And all this is because you have the blood of the Demon King clan, it is the gift of the Demon King clan to you!!"
"You can enjoy all this with peace of mind, but you must not forget who brought all this to you! You must not have the slightest rebellious heart, otherwise, it would be ungrateful and intolerable!"
"And now, the Demon King family has encountered the greatest disaster in ten thousand years. The first Demon King died, then the Little Demon King died, leaving only the Little Demon Queen to support everything... but she is still being questioned countless times because of her body. Your royal family has enjoyed the grace of the Demon King for ten thousand years, and now the Demon King is in an unprecedented predicament. Isn't this the best opportunity for you to repay the Demon King!"
“And if at this time, some members of the royal family not only do not support and assist the Little Demon Queen, but instead harbor disloyal intentions, they are truly conscienceless and worse than pigs and dogs! They are so ugly and shameless that they will be struck by lightning!”
